Details

The Transcend SSD370 series was designed to be reliable and affordable, so this would be considered a budget or value SSD lineup. The SSD370 is available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities for desktop and notebook users. Transcend is using the SM2246EN SATA 3.1 controller from Silicon Motion (features overload protection, TRIM, ECC, EMS protection, SMART) and paired that with Micron 20nm Synchronous MLC NAND Flash with ~7% over provisioning. That combination is good for up to 570MB/s sequential read speeds and 470MB/s sequential write speeds on the 512GB model. When it comes to 4K random write performance you are looking at up to 75,000 IOPS. The performance does taper off as the capacity decreases, so be sure to keep an eye on that when picking out a drive to purchase for one of your systems.
